Change in Point of View and Fractured Timeline
Changing the point of view and using the technique of fractured timeline can greatly affect a piece of writing. When telling Fitcher’s Bird originally, it was obvious from the beginning of the fairytale that the sorcerer was evil. When my group used the fracturing timeline technique, we started at the end where the youngest daughter disguises herself as a bird, and when Fitcher returns, she locks Fitcher and the wedding guests in the house and sets it on fire. The technique makes it look like the daughter is evil, and it also raises questions, for example why is she disguised as a bird?, and why did she set the house with all the people on fire?. With the change from third person to first person, the audience can get a better feeling about who the character really is and how he/she act. Fracturing time hooks the audience by raising a daunting question and change of point of view lets the audience hear the story through the characters view.
